Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eddie Redmayne were among the stars who helped James Corden celebrate his hosting debut on America's The Late Late Show on Monday night (23Mar15).
The British actor/comedian has taken over from Craig Ferguson as presenter of the U.S. programme, and he opened his first show with a star-studded pre-recorded sketch showing how he got the job. In a parody of Willy Wonka &amp; the Chocolate Factory, a golden ticket is placed in one of many chocolate bars which are handed out to potential celebrity hosts, including Simon Cowell, Eddie Redmayne, Chris Rock and Billy Crystal, who are seen unwrapping the bars without success. Corden finds the winning bar by accident and stars including Meryl Streep, Shia LaBeouf and Allison Janney give him tips to prepare for the show, while Arnold Schwarzenegger puts him through a workout and former talk show host Jay Leno repeatedly slaps him and says, "In three months, this job will be mine."

Corden's first guests were Mila Kunis and Tom Hanks, who were interviewed at the same time. Kunis played coy when asked if she has married her partner Ashton Kutcher in secret and would not give confirmation, although she was wearing a wedding ring. Hanks took part in a second sketch with Corden in which they paid homage to Hanks' films including Forrest Gump, Big, Cast Away and Sleepless in Seattle. They dressed up in costumes and recited famous lines, with Corden playing Meg Ryan a number of times.

During the show, Corden said, "I really couldn't be more honoured to be stood here talking to you now and believe me, however shocked you are that I am doing this job, you will never be more shocked than I am... It really isn't lost on me what a privilege it is to be given a show like this and I will really do my best not to let any of you down." He ended his debut by crooning an original ballad about the show from behind a piano.

If you sit back and think about it, Kanye West really does act like a super villain. This isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes his efforts are meant for good, but it just doesn't come across that way.
1. He has collaborated with his enemy like Magneto did (yes, that makes Taylor Swift Professor X).

Tom Arnold has slammed his Sin City Saints co-star Malin Akerman's ex-husband, insisting the actress is an inspiration for how she dealt with her 2013 divorce. The actor admits he is in awe of the way Akerman conducts herself as a parent and ex-wife - and he has taken to the airwaves to blast rocker Roberto Zincone for allegedly abandoning her four months after she became a mum.
He tells U.S. shock jock Howard Stern, "I probably shouldn't talk about her but... I have so much respect for her. She is such an amazing woman.
"You know, her husband, they're together 10 years, they have a baby, (and) four months in, he's like, 'I'm done'. So, she not only pays him alimony to take care of this guy, but I watched her as a mother, and I was like, 'This is the most inspiring woman. I'm not gonna (sic) complain about anything in my life'. She is incredible. She is an inspiration."
The Watchmen star confessed life had been difficult since her marriage split and divorce in an upbeat pre-New Year's social media post to fans in December (14), writing, "As I reflect upon this past year, I can't help but think about all the ups and downs... everything that helps us grow as human beings. No matter how painful, no matter how joyful, life is a miracle! It is beautiful.
"And the fact that I have this little life to enjoy it all with brings me the biggest joy ever!! I am beyond #thankful for everything that I have been given."

Steve Mcqueen's thrilling chase sequence in The Great Escape has been voted the best motorbike scene in movie history.
The Hollywood star's character is chased by Nazis in the 1963 war film, stealing a motocycle and leaping over a barbed wire fence before he eventually becomes entangled in the wire and apprehended. Carole Nash spokeswoman Rebecca Donohue says, "The Great Escape is a film people watch over and over. It's almost like they hope if they watch it enough times, he will get over the last line of barbed wire."
Tom Cruise's Top Gun motorcycle ride came in second place in the poll by specialist super bike insurer Carole Nash, while third place went to a scene from biker classic Easy Rider and Arnold Schwarzenegger took fourth for his ride in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Daniel Craig landed fifth place for his rooftop race in 2012 James Bond movie Skyfall.

"If there was an internet in 1988 people would've stolen and leaked nude pictures of Roseanne and me and no one would've ever done it again." Comedian Tom Arnold believes the nude photo leak trend would have been halted before it started if it had happened when he was still married to Roseanne Barr. On Sunday (31Aug14), the personal online accounts of female celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Mary Elizabeth Winstead were hacked and naked pictures of them surfaced on the Internet.

Character actor Stephen Lee has died.
The Seinfeld and Nash Bridges star passed away on 14 August (14) after suffering a heart attack. He was 58. Lee portrayed the Big Bopper in Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba and also appeared in the movies RoboCop 2 and Burlesque, but he'll perhaps be best remembered as an inquisitive contractor hired to install kitchen cabinets in Jerry Seinfeld's apartment in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld.
Lee also played Tom Arnold in 1994 TV movie Roseanne and Tom: Behind the Scenes. He made his debut in a 1981 episode of Hart to Hart and became a TV staple in shows like Hill Street Blues, Family Ties, Roseanne, Quantum Leap and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The deputy chief coroner who presided over Robin Williams' autopsy has defended his decision to go public with details about the star's death following a backlash from critics.
The 63-year-old Oscar winner was found dead after he hanged himself in his home in Marin County, California on Monday (11Aug14).
Sheriff's Office Deputy Chief Coroner Keith Boyd gave a press conference on Tuesday (12Aug14) to give details about the circumstances surrounding the actor's death, revealing Williams' personal assistant discovered the body. Boyd also confirmed the Mrs. Doubtfire star had hanged himself with a belt, and that a number of cuts had been found on his left wrist.
Following the press conference, which was shown on TV and streamed online, many fans criticised Boyd for releasing such specific details about the tragedy. However, Boyd has now defended his decision in a statement which reads: "The Sheriff's Office understands how the release of the kind of information you heard... may be viewed as disturbing by some, and as unnecessary by others, but under California law, all that information is considered 'public information' and we are precluded from denying access to it.
These kinds of cases, whether they garner national attention or not, are very difficult for everyone involved. "Frankly, it would have been our personal preference to withhold a lot of what we disclosed to the press... but the California Public Records Act does not give us that kind of latitude. For the same reasons, we will likely be required to release to the media the 911 phone call we received from Mr. Williams' residence and the fire dispatch tapes that resulted as well..."
A private memorial is currently being planned for Williams by his wife Susan Schneider, according to E! News.

"The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin's family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams."
Meanwhile, a tribute has been posted on a billboard outside Los Angeles' Laugh Factory, where Williams often performed. It reads: "Robin Williams. Rest in Peace. Make God laugh."

Arnold Schwarzenegger's actor son Patrick has landed a spot in designer Tom Ford's new campaign for his Fall 2014 collection.

Channing Tatum and Zac Efron are among the stars who have signed on to test their survival skills in a new TV adventure series. Running Wild with Bear Grylls will track the adventurer and celebrities like Tom Arnold and Ben Stiller as they spend 48 hours in the wilderness, attempting to survive and get back to civilisation.
The six hour-long episodes will debut on America's NBC network next month (Jul14).
Grylls says, "Running Wild allows viewers to see inside the hearts and minds of these guests in a very open, honest and vulnerable way, pushing them out of their comfort zones and seeing what they are like in real life when stripped of all the benefits of celebrity.
"Ultimately, this show is about taking these stars on the adventure of a lifetime and being alongside them when they discover something new and empowering about themselves and their world. For me, that is always a privilege."

Summary

With an early career overshadowed by his marriage to larger-than-life comedienne Rosanne Barr, and a performance delivery akin to a highly caffeinated 14-year-old kid with self-esteem issues, by most accounts Tom Arnold should have faded from public view shortly after the notorious couple's bitter divorce. And yet, the comic actor persevered, working steadily in both film and on television as actor, comedian and media personality. Prior to being thrust into the limelight by Barr, no one had ever heard of Tom Arnold. However, by 1990 he was writing, producing and acting on her iconic sitcom, "Rosanne" (ABC, 1988-1997). Their marriage often played out like a train wreck for a salivating tabloid media. After their acrimonious divorce, Arnold was given a gift from director James Cameron, by being cast alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hugely successful action comedy "True Lies" (1994). Suddenly, people were taking Arnold seriously as a comedic performer. What followed was a series of questionable movies such as "The Stupids" (1996) and failed TV sitcoms like "The Tom Show" (The WB, 1997-98). Eventually Arnold would settle into a career as a supporting player in smaller film roles, television series, and talk shows. Upon occasion, Arnold would be given the opportunity to prove that there was more to him than his nervous, crass personae, surprising critics with strong performances in smaller films like "Happy Endings" (2005). Although no longer starring in his own series or taking the lead in mainstream features, all things considered, it had worked out all right for Arnold. As he once said, "It's a pretty nice life, if you like being a punch line."

Met in 1983 when Arnold opened for Barr's act in Minnesota; Married Jan. 20, 1990; Renewed wedding vows on June 23, 1991 in celebration of Arnold's conversion to Judaism; He also served as her manager and producer; worked together in multiple projects including ABC's "Roseanne"; Divorced on Dec. 9, 1994
